Iran launched approximately 30 ballistic missiles at Israel since Sunday evening, an Israeli military official said Monday afternoon, in the latest escalation of the conflict between the two countries.
"They fired nearly 30 ballistic missiles toward Israel and the Houthis added two more, one of which fell short of Israel," the officer told foreign journalists on condition of anonymity.
Israeli emergency services confirmed that the barrage caused no casualties, a testament to Israel's multilayered air defence systems, which intercepted the incoming projectiles.
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday that they would ban ships linked to Israel from the Red Sea after Israel renewed its military attacks on Iran, adding to concerns about global shipping and energy flows.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that both Israel and Iran are looking to "do an immediate ceasefire", and that final negotiations on "peace" are proceeding.
Israel has carried out nearly 3,500 air strikes on Lebanon and hundreds of controlled explosions since the U.S. announced a ceasefire for the country on April 16, Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Monday.
